Chapter One: Professor Snape's New Position
Snape raced down the endless pathways of Hogwarts desperately seeking Dumbledore's office. "I'll never, ever forgive that man. Thanks to him I'm now the laughing stock of the whole school," he thought to himself. He paused by a painting of a knight in the countryside. The knight looked at him, and started cracking up out of nowhere.
"HEY, WHO GOT THE DARK ARTS JOB?" the knight screamed.
"SCREW YOU!" Snape yelled back as he turned down the secret passageway that was right in front of him, just so he could avoid the rest of the paintings. He finally stopped by a stone gargoyle,
"Mushroom-head."
The Gargoyle jumped to life as Snape uttered the correct password. He ran up the steps and forcefully knocked on Dumbledore's office door.
"Come in," Dumbledore said. Snape opened the door, and stood right in front of Dumbledore's desk, tapping his foot.
"Why hello Severus I thought that you might be at rehearsal by now," Dumbledore said with a glint in his eye.
"What is the meaning of this? I did NOT ask to be the band director!" Snape all but shouted.
"But Severus you did," the reply came.
Snape paused for a moment and started to stammer, "but…when…how…where?"
"When you said that you would be happy to take on the new position that was being offered, as well as…how was it phrased? Oh yes, and with you being 'the most qualified person for the job' I only thought it right to give you the new post of band director here at Hogwarts."
Snape simply stared at Dumbledore. "But I thought that…"
"Now now, run along Severus, you do have your first rehearsal to attend." Dumbledore said handing Snape his baton. And with that, Snape left Dumbledore's office very bewildered.
